  1. 1Canon EOS R50, Launch price: US RRP at launch as listed by Trusted Reviews; the page does not state whether it is body-only.
  2. 2Ricoh GR IV, Launch price: Launch MSRP per the review; Ricoh's US store currently lists $1,599.95.
  3. 3Nikon Z5IIC, Native ISO maximum: Expanded settings reach ISO 204800 (Hi 1.7); 64000 is the highest standard/native value.
  4. 4Nikon Z5IIC, In-body image stabilization: CIPA 2024 standard: up to 7.5 stops at the frame center, 6.0 stops at the periphery.
  5. 5Canon EOS R50, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilisation; shake control relies on lens IS or Movie Digital IS.
  6. 6Ricoh GR IV, In-body image stabilization: Ricoh's 6.0-stop rating applies at frame centre; periphery is rated 4.0 stops (CIPA 2024).
  7. 7Ricoh GR IV, Sensor type: The sensor is a back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS type; mapped to 'cmos' as no BSI option is listed.
  8. 8Nikon Z5IIC, Aspect ratios: Native FX (36 x 24) stills are 3:2; 1:1 and 16:9 are selectable in-camera image areas.
  9. 9Ricoh GR IV, Aspect ratios: 3:2 is native to the 23.3 x 15.5 mm sensor; 4:3, 1:1 and 16:9 are in-camera crop modes.
  10. 10Nikon Z5IIC, Continuous shooting (mechanical): Spec table: extended burst is approx. 14 fps (15 fps with silent mode); rates apply to non-RAW quality.
  11. 11Ricoh GR IV, Continuous shooting (mechanical): The review cites 4 fps continuous without specifying shutter type.
  12. 12Nikon Z5IIC, Continuous shooting (electronic): C30 is fixed at JPEG [L]/NORMAL; Nikon advises use of a recommended card.
  13. 13Nikon Z5IIC, Max mechanical shutter speed: The 1/8000 s figure is the overall shutter-speed range; the fastest mechanical speed is 1/4000 s.
  14. 14Ricoh GR IV, Max mechanical shutter speed: 1/4000 s requires F5.6 or a smaller aperture; at F2.8 the limit is 1/2500 s.
  15. 15Nikon Z5IIC, Pre-burst capture duration: In High-Speed Frame Capture +, Pre-Release Capture is fixed at JPEG [L] NORMAL.
  16. 16Canon EOS R50, Pre-burst capture duration: No pre-capture mode appears anywhere in Canon's official R50 specifications, so it is treated as absent.
  17. 17Ricoh GR IV, AF subject detection: Only face/eye detection is offered; no animal or vehicle subject recognition is listed.
  18. 18Nikon Z5IIC, 4K max frame rate: 4K/60p is recorded in a DX (APS-C) crop.
  19. 19Nikon Z5IIC, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K/60p uses a DX (APS-C) crop, so full-width 4K recording tops out at 30p.
  20. 20Canon EOS R50 V, 4K max frame rate (full width): Full-width 4K tops out at 29.97 fps; 4K 50p/60p uses a crop to 64% of the sensor's horizontal area.
  21. 21Canon EOS R50, Raw video recording: Canon lists only MP4 recording with H.264 or HEVC; no raw video is offered internally or externally.
  22. 22Canon EOS R50, Video bit depth: Standard Rec.709 recording is 8-bit; 10-bit output requires HDR PQ to be switched on.
  23. 23Canon EOS R50, Log profile support: No Canon Log profile; HDR PQ (a PQ gamma curve) is available instead, which is not a log curve.
  24. 24Canon EOS R50 V, Viewfinder resolution: The EOS R50 V has no built-in electronic viewfinder; framing is done on the rear screen only.
  25. 25Nikon Z5IIC, Battery life: Approx. 390 shots per charge with [Energy saving (photo mode)] set to ON.
  26. 26Canon EOS R50 V, Battery life: Canon's CIPA rating uses the supplied LP-E17 battery with the LCD in power-saving mode.
  27. 27Canon EOS R50, Battery life: CIPA test with the supplied LP-E17 in power-saving mode; viewfinder shooting is rated at about 310 shots.
  28. 28Ricoh GR IV, Battery life: CIPA-rated at 23°C with a fully charged DB-120 battery.
  29. 29Ricoh GR IV, Memory card slots: Single microSD slot, plus 53 GB internal memory that cannot record to both at once.
  30. 30Nikon Z5IIC, Weather sealing: Complete dust- and drip-resistant performance is not guaranteed in all situations or conditions.
  31. 31Canon EOS R50, Weather sealing: Canon's own spec sheet also lists water/dust resistance as not provided, so treat the body as unsealed.
  32. 32Nikon Z5IIC, Weight: 620 g is with battery and memory card; the body alone weighs approx. 538 g.
  33. 33Canon EOS R50, Weight: Black body with battery and card per CIPA; the white version is 376 g with battery and card.
  34. 34Canon EOS R50 V, USB charging & power delivery: USB charging requires a genuine (authenticated) Canon battery; unauthenticated batteries will not charge over USB.
  35. 35Canon EOS R50, USB charging & power delivery: USB-C charging works with the supplied LP-E17; unauthenticated third-party batteries may not charge.
  36. 36Ricoh GR IV, USB charging & power delivery: Battery charges and camera draws power in-body over USB-C; fast charging needs a USB-PD adapter.
  37. 37Canon EOS R50, Minimum operating temperature: Rated operating range is 0–40 °C at up to 85% humidity.
  38. 38Nikon Z5IIC, Headphone port: Shared 3.5 mm output doubles as remote release; set its function to headphones for monitoring.
  39. 39Canon EOS R50, Headphone port: Canon's full port list covers USB-C, mic-in, HDMI micro and the shoe only — no headphone jack.
